I'm no native speaker of the english language, so sometimes I have trouble with the finer details of the grammatical aspect. I have a question: can I say I'm available in the month of August, or just I'm available August?
 
But the meaning I want to transpire, is that I'm available from August and onward. So from August to december, etc.
 
"I'm available from August and onward."

That sounds fine to me but people might be confused by the onward like what do you mean by onward? I'd just say

"I'm available at anytime between August - December. "
 
From August to an indefinite amount of time more precisely. In french the equivalent would be "à partir de", which encompasses this meaning.
 
"I'm available from August onwards."

"I'm available beginning in August."
 
Lol....you're saying words that I didn't even know in 5th grade....however you learned English, it worked really well.



Another way to say it is "I'm available anytime after July." or "I'm available starting in August, I will be available until *month here*."
 
thank you. I took some complementary English classes, but I learned the rest by myself. By watching movies, going on english forums, watching TV shows. Because the French grammar is very different from the English one, so sometimes I get confused. Never really went to English schools.
 
You are able to speak English fairly well for not going to any school for the language.

I would use "I am available anytime beginning August 1st"
 
thank you kind sir. You know how difficult it is for Asians to learn foreign languages. And sometimes I translate from French to English directly and it doesn't really make sense.
 
Don't take it that hard. English is the hardest language to learn by far.
 
I am also Indian and I learned English by getting the fear out and speaking no matter how many mistakes I did the mistakes made me improve.
 
"I will be available from August onward"
"I will be available anytime starting in August"
"I will be available all the time starting in August"

I dont know, there is a million ways to say that sentence. 😛
 
And can I just add that this sounds like it could be for something formal, lke a job, and if it is, I would suggest saying "I am" instead of "I'm".
